Mashle Review: One Punch Potter
Produced by A-1 Pictures Directed by Tomoya Tanaka Streaming on Crunchyroll Parody anime is in a weird state in 2023. One Punch Man is on another long break after its second season failed to live up to its first, with a third season announced with no concrete release or staff announcements. Konosuba came back with…

Oshi no Ko Review: A Star is Born
Produced by Doga Kobo Directed by Daisuke Hiramaki Streaming on Hidive As a reviewer, I believe I have some small obligation to be impartial. It’s not possible to give a completely objective review, so I also try to inform you when my personal taste supersedes my ability to analyze an anime. With that in mind,…

Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World! Review: Justice for Best Girl
Produced by Drive Directed by Yuujirou Abe Streaming on Crunchyroll I will preface this review by declaring myself an unabashed Megumin simp, as I believe it’s important you understand an author’s bias when trying to appraise their opinions. Now, seeing as I main Hu Tao in Genshin Impact and I’m an Emilia diehard, so this…

Hell’s Paradise Review: Two Tickets to Paradise
Produced by MAPPA Directed by Kaori Makita Streaming on Crunchyroll If I had a nickel for every dark fantasy manga adaptation produced by MAPPA in the last couple years, I’d have six nickels, and actually, that’s quite a lot. That being said, Hell’s Paradise is an adaptation I’ve been waiting a long time for. I’ve…

Suzume Review: The Shinkai Formula At Its Best
Produced by CoMix Wave Films Directed by Makoto Shinkai Only In Theaters I don’t usually review anime films. These days, we’re fortunate enough to get wide theatrical releases, even outside the mainstream breakthroughs like Dragon Ball Z. If you had told me a decade ago I could see a harem anime movie like The Quintessential…

The Irregular at Magic High School is a Disaster
Hm? What’s that? No one cares that an infamously bad anime from almost a decade ago is bad? We have plenty of other indulgent harem light novel adaptations to roast now? What the heck is an Assassin’s Pride? See, I would take criticism like that seriously, but I cannot for deeply personal reasons. The Irregular…

Where Wotakoi Failed
As a self-proclaimed rom com connoisseur, you can bet I love Wotakoi. Maybe the manga more so than the anime, though it’s a competent adaptation, and you know that OP slaps, but as a whole, Love is Hard for Otaku hits all the right notes. It’s not the only anime to tackle the unique challenges…

The New Kaguya-sama: Love is War
Written and Illustrated by Ran Kuze Published by Weekly Shonen Magazine Licensed by Kodansha USA In 2022, we lost the best rom com in manga. I’ve written about the series numerous times, and yet I’m struggling to find the works to eulogize one of the greatest stories ever written. There is peak fiction, and then…

5 Anime to Watch if You Like Dungeons & Dragons
Author’s Note: This post was written before Wizards of the Coast decided to get scummy and try to copyright Pathfinder out of existence. This is here to suggest enjoying D&D to its fullest extent while finding every way possible to avoid giving these fat cats any of your money. The D&D movie looks kinda cool,…

Bocchi the Rock! and Living with Anxiety
Bocchi the Rock was a stand-out show in a stand-out season. Picture, for a moment, having to make a moe comedy and music anime in the same season as Chainsaw Man, Blue Lock, My Hero Academia, Mob Psycho 100, and the final arc of Bleach. Daunting. Bocchi might have succeeded purely on the grounds that…
